I would never pay 370 bucks for a mobo.....but damn, onboard SCSI must rox0r. This easily beats that AOpen board with vacum tube sound.

If anyone has a mobo more sick that this lemme see :cool:

Your link goes to a 2.4C CPU. Might want to edit it to point to whatever MoBo it is that you're talking about, or give us the make and model of the MoBo at least.

In the absense of that my vote would be for one of the current Gigabyte 875/865 line of mobos (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=13-128-185-05.JPG/13-128-185-06.JPG/13-128-185-04.JPG/13-128-185-02.JPG/13-128-185-03.jpg/13-128-185-07.JPG) . Looks like these things were designed to go into Fisher-Price boxes. Too bad they look so ugly because I've heard good things about their performance.

ROTF....:p You sure that's an intel chipset, and not a MATTEL chipset??? :D

Where can I get one of those locally....Toys-R-Us?? :p That thing would look right at home in one of those "Barbie" cases I've seen on e-BAY.... :p

Unfortunately this seems like a trend. It's obviously being driven by the popularity of all the premodded rice boxes out there. Folks want something spiffy looking on the other side of their case window. Personlally I think it's knid of nice to see something different than the run of the mill green or bamboo colored PCB's but those Gigabyte 875/865 boards and those DFI Lanparty boards are just hideous.

Man, thats crazy expensive. You'd probably get better SCSI performance with a standalone card...

wow IDE SATA and SCSI!!!! that is a bit overboard. I that you can not use the IDE if SATA is in use. ? The colors are ugly.

I think I'm gonna be sick *looking at board*

I think I'm gonna be sick again!!! *looks at price!*

Lots of cool features but that thing is hideous. I want a plain white board with green traces (if that's even possible) Heck an all white board with gold traces would look sweet. As would an all black board with gold traces to match my case.

Too bad I'll never buy hardware for appearance sake unless it's just an option on something I've already decided on.
